Why Choose BDLD?
Mental Health First Aid courses are standardised programmes - all instructors use
the same curriculum, resources and structure. But, of course, not all trainers are
of the same quality.
By using BDLD:
•
We guarantee you either Kevin or Bob as your allocated trainer. If we use one
of our 3 trusted associates, it will be with your full consent in advance - but
over 98% of our courses have been delivered by one or both of us. This is in
contrast to many other organisations, who tend to use an associate model,
supplying a freelance instructor from a bank that they have access to.
•
As a not-for-profit, we are able to subsidise your course with funds generated
by other delivery - our charges are therefore less than the MHFA England
recommended prices.
•
We bring a highly credible background to our delivery. Bob is a former mental
health practitioner who uses his experience from both the UK and overseas to
inform delivery. Kevin is a former service user who can speak of first hand
experience about the personal effect of mental illness, recovery and
discrimination.

We deliver excellent training - just take a look at some of the feedback on the

Testimonials
Highly recommended
Brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable
course. I've done a MHFA course
before, with another trainer - but
this training, with Bob, was far
superior. Bob was patient, kind,
incredibly knowledgeable and an
excellent teacher.
Brilliant Course......could not
recommend highly enough
I thoroughly enjoyed the training
and learnt so much.
Kevin is an outstanding
trainer/facilitator and had us all
engaged and captivated but also
supported when talking about
really sensitive topics.
Great trainer great company
This has been one of the best
training sessions I’ve attended in
my 30 year as a professional.
Essential training delivered
superbly by Big Dog and Lil Dog!
I attended the 2 day course and
both the content and the trainers
surpassed my expectations! The
coursework was brilliantly managed
even though it was all online. The
sessions felt well paced and
throughout the journey, Kevin and
Bob made sure it was a safe space
for the whole group.
Best Online Training Ever
Kev provided an insightful,
interactive and safe learning
environment for the Youth Mental
Health First Aid training I attended.
I learned so much and he made
very difficult topics easier to talk
about. Highly recommended!
World Class Training Sessions
Both Big Dog and Little Dog are
excellent trainers. With previous
trainers, I have felt they discredit
that the information being taught
can be very real and valid to the
people within the room. Both Bob
and Kevin are not like this at all,
they are caring whilst discussing
sensitive topics, engaging, and
beacons of knowledge. They have
truly made a difference in my own
working practice and how I will
approach things in everyday life.
